“Edge of Empire” by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson is an original oil pastel capturing the timeless sweep of Hadrian’s Wall as it winds through the rolling hills of Northumberland. This evocative landscape draws you into a moment of stillness where ancient stone meets open sky, and centuries of history seem to echo in the wind.
Rendered in expressive layers of oil pastel, the scene shimmers with life: lush greens dotted with wildflowers stretch into the distance, while the wall — weathered but unbowed — leads the eye toward a horizon painted in soft purples and blues. A few birds coast gently overhead, adding a sense of quiet movement to the calm, expansive view.
This one-of-a-kind piece is both grounding and poetic, ideal for lovers of British history, natural beauty, and soulful landscapes.
